Chapter 447: Between Siblings (1/2)

Dao Xun didn't bother being polite and started instructing Baili Yiling on what to do. The two of them soon covered Jun Xin with the arcane ice armor.

After securing the last thread of the armor, Baili Yiling peeked at Dao Xun before asking discreetly, ”Senior Dao Xun, has Big Brother decided on the people that will be bringing Jun Xin to the cold location?”

”I've talked to your big brother about it earlier. Since these needles must be reinserted every seven days, this old man has no choice but to make a personal trip. What is it? You also want to go?” Dao Xun glanced at Baili Yiling meaningfully.

Dao Xun's bluntness didn't make Baili Yiling uncomfortable. On the contrary, she felt like she didn't have to be as reserved when facing him as she did other seniors. After all, he was Baili Yu's master and also Jun Xin's master. That was why she wanted to get close to him but also didn't dare, so there was a feeling of distance.

However, after interacting with him this time, she felt much closer to him.

”Hehe, nothing can be concealed from Senior Dao Xun's eyes.” So she thickened her skin and didn't consider her words as much before she spoke. Her true nature which contained the craftiness of a little fox was revealed.

When Dao Xun saw her like this, he nodded in satisfaction. He could tell from her gaze that her personality wasn't the way she acted in front of him, which was why he purposely changed how he interacted with her. As he had expected, her true personality had been revealed after he provoked her a little.

As expected his disciple’s younger sister. Their personalities were seriously too similar.

After successfully getting Baili Yiling to act naturally around him, Dao Xun returned to his usual aloof manner. After a moment of silence, he said, ”It's fine if you want to go. That way I’ll have someone to help with changing Jun Xin's arcane ice armor.”

”Alright!” Baili Yiling was happy enough to start jumping when she saw that Dao Xun agreed.

”However, your brother has to agree.”

Big Brother had to agree?

But would he agree?

Baili Yiling pouted. ”You're Big Brother's master. Big Brother will definitely listen to you.”

”Then you've bet on the wrong idea,” said Dao Xun with a laugh. ”There are several thousand disciples studying under me and over a hundred core disciples. There are only eight full inheritance disciples. All of them listen to me with the exception of these two.”

Baili Yiling had also heard of this. It was precisely because Baili Yu and Jun Xin hadn't listened to Dao Xun's advice that they ended up angering the master of Wind Cloud Island. The Wind Cloud Island master wanted them crippled, so they left Wind Cloud Island.

However, Dao Xun didn't seem to mind this matter much. He didn't try to get revenge for his disciples, nor did he help Wind Cloud Island stop them from leaving.

So this matter just faded with time.

But would Big Brother agree?

She felt that Big Brother didn't really like her being too good to Jun Xin. He seemed to mind the fact that she liked Jun Xin, but she couldn't understand why.

She was also aware that Jun Xin liked Sister-in-Law, but she didn't feel like there was anything wrong with this. Even though he liked Sister-in-Law, he still maintained an appropriate distance. He treated Sister-in-Law really well and didn't ask for anything in return. She knew how infatuated and selfless Jun Xin was, that’s why she wanted his heart even more, and she also had confidence that she could make Jun Xin fall in love with her!

But Big Brother's reaction was strange. Since he was Sister-in-Law's husband, shouldn't he be happy to have one less person pining for Sister-in-Law?

Could it be that he wasn't aware of Jun Xin's feelings towards Sister-in-Law… That wasn't possible. There was no way that Big Brother could miss something that even she had been able to notice.

Haaa. He was seriously unreadable.

”What if Big Brother doesn't agree?” Baili Yiling had a premonition that Baili Yu wouldn't agree to her going. After all, she wasn't someone that needed to go and she couldn't help Jun Xin the way Senior Dao Xun could. Anyone could help Senior Dao Xun with changing the arcane ice armor.

Dao Xun laughed as he stroked his beard. ”That will depend on your own abilities.”

After leaving the room, Baili Yiling turned to gaze at the sky. How was she supposed to convince Big Brother?

She walked very slowly to the pavilion. When she got close, she glanced over, then hastily hid behind a tree with a strange expression. What were Big Brother and Sister-in-Law doing?

As she wondered this, she peeked towards the pavilion again.

However, the more she watched, the more her ears heated up and her face reddened… So it was possible to eat grapes this way?

However, from the looks of things, she wouldn't be able to discuss anything with Big Brother right now.

Baili Yiling blinked and lowered the branch in front of her face so that the scene was blocked. She turned around and was just about to leave when she accidentally stepped on a roof tile. There was a distinct crack that was especially conspicuous in the silent surroundings.

Baili Yu, who was dressed in alluring red as always, was currently feeding Tang Doudou a sparkling translucent grape with his slender jade-like fingers. When he heard this sound, the grape changed directions and left his fingers to shoot towards where Baili Yiling had been hiding.

The speed was extremely fast. It reached Baili Yiling's back almost at the same time as the tile shattered. Fortunately, her senses were sharp and she immediately dodged the grape when she sensed danger.

Then she sighed in relief.

She looked towards where the grape had landed and saw that it had stabbed into a nearby tree trunk. A drop of fragrant juice was currently flowing down the bark.

Baili Yiling couldn't help but gulp. It was fortunate that she had dodged in time. If she had gotten hit, she would've suffered a severe injury or perhaps died.
